Several thousand years ago advanced civilizations flourished on Planet Zi. They created Zoids with their advanced technology and used them were used for labor work and combat. However, a polar shift on the planet resulted in cataclysmic disasters that destroyed all cities and civilizations. This event is known as "The God's Fury".

Several thousand years later Generators were scattered around the planet. These Generators not only stabilized the polar shift and agriculture, they also produce the Zoids' fuel - Reggel. With the improved planetary conditions, new civilizations began to sprout again. The new generations built villages and cities around the Generators, and excavated Zoids from the earth and sea.

At present, the Digald Bukoku (Bukoku = country ruled by military dictatorship) possessed a special type of Zoids called the BioZoids. These Zoids are immune to almost all weapons, they can only be destroyed using weapons made of a special Leeo metal (or Metal Zi as Digald labeled it). With these invincible Zoids, Digald started an aggressive conquest across the lands. One of Digald's army platoon reached Miroodo Village where the series protagonist, Ryuuji Familon, lived. Ryuuji managed to drive the Diagald forces away with the help of two travelers - Ra Kan and Re Mii. The village Generator, however, was damaged in the battle.

In order to search for a mechanic to repair the Generator, Ryuuji left Miroodo Village for the first time and traveled alongside Ra Kan and Re Mii. During his journey, he slowly learned about Diagald and the chaos it caused in the world.

Major Zairin is a genius Zoid pilot and is under the direct command of General Jiin. Ruuji was the first in a long time to be able to inflict damage on his Zoid, and as such, view Ruuji as his greatest adversary.

Major Georg is under the direct command of General Jiin. He is extremely loyal and does not second guess any command given to him. He is ruthless in that he will crush anything and everything that stands in Digald’s way.

Souta is a arrogant and spoil kid that has a special talent when dealing with Zoids. He only answers to Jiin and Feleme, and does not respect the army’s hierarchical authority, which often annoys some of the officers.

Zoids are self aware metal lifeforms created by the ancient civilizations. All the Zoids were buried underground or sank into the sea due to the apocalyptic event several thousands years ago. The current civilization discover the Zoids and excavate them from the earth and sea. Zoids can only be activated and piloted by compatible humans. In other words, the Zoids choose their own pilots. Some smaller Zoids (such as Baratz) are easier to find compatible pilots than others.

BioZoids are silver colored Zoids unique to the Digald Bukoku. These Zoids cannot be damaged by any weapons other than weapons made from a special Leeo metal (Metal Zi). They are also vulnerable to extremely high temperature. A few BioZoids piloted by higher-ranking officers may be special equipped so that they can block Metal Zi weapons.
